No, the problem is not solved yet. I have swapped in 2 used pumps I had 
laying around to no avail. I haven't tried the vaseline trick yet, but I 
will. I haven't been running the motor to find the issue, just cranking 
it over with the solenoid. I find it hard to belive that all 3 pumps are 
bad, though. I tried all the other tricks mentioned, cleaned out the pan 
and pickup tube, blew air through the block passage, even installed the 
pump without the cover to ensure the rotor was turning. I also cranked 
the motor without the oil filter in place, but no oil came out. I don't 
think the bearings are the issue. Even if one was bad, wouldn't the pump 
still pick up oil and send it up the tube and out the filter opening?
